Look3 Workshops and Events
As Look3 Festival of the Photograph got underway Thursday the workshop sessions came to an end. Two of the workshops that I visited were Bruce Gilden’s street photography workshop, and Lynsey Addario’s on the photographic essay.
Bruce Gilden brings his own version of life on the street to his photographic workshops. Direct, honest and unforgiving are the rules that govern his work and the rules of his workshop.
Lynsey Addario’s courage and photographic ability has been shown in essays from the world’s most dangerous places and she teaches by example the skills necessary to work today.
There was also an opening of a wonderful body of work by National Geographic photographer Lynn Johnson.
Stanley Greene at Look3
Stanley Greene has won awards and had exhibitions of his photographs all over the world but until today he had not had a solo show in his home country, the United States. When he was asked about this at this evening’s Insight Conversation and projection in the Paramount Theatre in Charlottesville by interviewer Jean-Francois Leroy, he chose, rather than to exam the lack of vision and understanding of other venues, to thank the organizers of Look3 for this opportunity to show his work. The exhibit and projection are both well deserved. The interview will be remembered by all who were there as one of the most direct and honest such conversations that has been presented. The entire conversation is available through the Look3 web site. I highly recommend it.
